    It must have something to do with that awesome background.

    FYI - For me you came up #4 in Google behind 2-level nested About.com result.

    I think you are in the right to be wary of all that text at the bottom of your page. Any way to turn some of that into constructive information, paragraph form, for your visitors would help in my opinion.

    Thanks for the info

    What is a good amount of times to have the word BODYBOARDING on a single page do you reckon?

    Thanks

    That site (I am sorry) is an absolute mess, discusting! Hmmm googles algorithms really need some work!
    I recently experienced a site holding first place for quite some time with ebay running second place on a particular search term, and this site was only an image, no content, no keywords, no description just a title and was holding first place above ebay! I think it is still there actually.

    Got me baffled!

    Have to agree thats one awful looking site, perhaps this is where we are going wrong? no more should we create fancy, nicely written sites. We should produce awful, update free "pages" and then find we are top of the rankings. I may well go in to this form of new SEO technique.

    It's so high up because it's been online so long and has probably accumulated some quality authoritive votes. Google's only concerned about the text, couldn't care less abou thow it looks.

    Not sure if that's the factor in google, but it is listed in Yahoo and Yahoo AU directories.
